I've got nothing in my head
Got a floor for the bed
The future's at the bottom of a tea cup
I got a half a pair of shoes
And no time to lose
I'm wondering when I'm going to wise up
Fortune shine your light on me and my dog
Cause we need some security
While all the folks are living high up the hill
I'm the black sheep of the family
I've got half a pound of rice
A beard full of lice
A mission called retrogression
I've got pocket full of dust
And eating is a must
If you want to make a good impression
Fortune shine your light on me and my nose
Cause we need some security
I got a little bad luck and it grows and it grows
I'm the black sheep of the family
All the words are wrong and my shadow's getting long
I realise this song don't mean much
Got an ache in my head, I wanna go to bed
Tomorrow I don't have to wake up, no
So forune shine your light on me, I'm amazed
It's true what they say about familiarity
There's nothing good this way
And it's true they say
I'm the black sheep of the family
So forune shine your light on me, I'm amazed
It's true what they say about familiarity
There's nothing good this way
And it's true they say
I'm the black sheep of the family
I'm the black sheep
Black sheep
Black sheep
I'm the black sheep
I'm the black sheep
